Lepore will be stationed at Dorrance and Westminster streets from noon to 1:30 p.m. during those days. On Christmas Eve, he will put on a Santa hat and distribute candy canes to children passing by.

Once a full time Providence police officer, Lepore danced his way from directing traffic to appearances on “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “The Rosie O’Donnell Show,” “Looky Loo” on MSNBC, and “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” according to a news release.
